Gas fees
I find it interesting that Internet Computer is one of the only chains that pushes ALL costs to the developer, then it's up to the developer to either forward the costs to the user, or find actual revenue. Very much like web2 apps.
Tron has a a way for contracts to cover gas fees from the contracts balance, or a percentage of gas which is nice.
Then we got Vaulta, which enables dapps to lend resources to users. You can give new users 5 free transactions an hour which can enable them to at least try your app without cost.
and last, appchains like Osmosis that have made revenue generating transactions free since they'll be getting the money in other ways (swap fees).
I think we need to see more experimentation here. Pushing 100% of the costs to users, where users pay per function call is logical, but does not fit every application.
I've been spending a lot of time thinking about decentralized, distributed storage and hosting. I want my sites to always be up and accessible, even if I'm taking a break and not paying attention. Some links to solutions I'm currently using:
Swarm is a decentralised data storage and distribution technology. Ready to power the next generation of censorship-resistant, unstoppable,
Currently hosting the files for octalmage.com on Swarm.
Akash is an open network that lets users buy and sell computing resources securely and efficiently. Purpose-built for public utility.
Akash is hosting the Swarm gateway and Bee node.
Others I'm playing with:
The Internet Computer hosts secure, network-resident code and data. Build web apps without Big Tech and current IT. Applications are immune
My 90's style guestbook is hosted on the Internet Computer, the have a all in one solution with storage, database and content delivery.
Arweave is a global, permissionless hard drive that stores data permanently and incentivizes nodes to keep it. Learn about its unique proof
Arweave is super interesting as they are the only ones that offer "permanent" solutions. Not currently using them for anything but it's attractive.
BitTorrent File System is A Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network(DePIN) which Underpins the Web3 Ecosystem
The BitTorrent brand has a special place in my heart, so I'm always interested to see what they're up to. I've used BTFS before and it's basically incentivized IPFS. IPFS is incredible but without a way to make sure someone is "seeding" your files, they just disappear.
Does HTML get any better than this?

Guestbook
Sign my decentralized 90s inspired guestbook!
From MS-DOS to Apple Arcade. I’m excited to play the sequel of Beneath a Steel Sky, one of the best cyperpunk games I’ve seen.

Found this track a few weeks ago, really dig it.
RobotDAO - A robot managing a robot?
It’s been a while! I’ve been heads down focusing on other projects, and currently I don’t have a project that needs RobotJS in my day-to-day. I still very much believe in this project, and more importantly I believe it needs to exist. For this reason, I’d like to propose an alternative method for maintaining this project.
My focus in the past few years has shifted towards blockchain technology. I’ve always hated how centralized and closed open source communities were. To contribute to a project you have to track the owner down, convince them that your code is worthy, and most of the time that code ends up sitting there and getting stale because the owner is off doing other things. This sucks and RobotJS isn’t the other project that has this issue. With one of the largest open source projects, WordPress, this problem is out of control.
Another issue is the time it takes to onboard new team members. For me, I’ll spend some time finding a new collaborator, onboard them, they’ll be active for a few weeks or months, then move on. I don’t blame them because I do the same thing. So I’ve been looking for a way to empower the community to onboard new members and to take ownership of the project has a whole.
Decentralized Autonomous Organization
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, or DAOs are a very exciting and new field in computer science. The idea is pretty simple: You implement your business logic as code, and let a program enforce it.
Now how do you verify that the code and its execution is doing what you expect? You run it on an open source computer or CPU, and this is what Ethereum enables. Ethereum lets users implement programs using a special language, then you can run your program on a distributed, decentralized, open source computer. In my eyes this is the only way to accomplish this.
RobotDAO
So that was a lot to get through, I’m sorry! This is what I’m working on now for the MVP of the RobotDAO:
A simple interface for proposing new project collaborators.
An interface to allow voting this new member in.
The Ethereum smart contract that takes votes and manages users reputations. Currently I’m building this using Thetta, but I’m also looking at DAOStack and district0x.
A program that can react to a new member proposal getting approved and make the change on Github. In blockchain terms this is called an Oracle and I’m making the changes using Terraform.
Users will vote using reputation, something that has zero value outside of this project. Reputation will be handed out for free to users that contribute to the project.
I’ve been taking part in DAO’s for years now and I’ve seen how they can change and empower communities. I hope the RobotJS community will be open to this idea.
Please reach out to me on Twitter or Telegram to talk more! Anyone who is interested in helping to build, test, or just ideate, reach out!
This is what I’m interested in these days. I want a robot to cut my paycheck.
Compound
This is pretty insane. It’s a decentralized financial app that supports borrowing against your crypto, while gaining interest (~2.29% APR for DAI).
I’d say it’s worth checking out!
Decentralized darknet markets could create unstoppable Silk Road clones. How will societies deal with this kind of threat?
I’ve been saying this since I built my own DApp. It’s coming, and it’s possible that it’s already here!
Halo 3 has this ability to create custom maps, and I would create these insane obstacle courses where you had to jump across hundreds of pillars to reach the end of the map. I loved this type of challenge where you had to practice and master the physics of the game.
This is a game concept that is loosely based on those custom maps. The pillars are randomly generated and endless, and they get rebuilt when you die.
It took a few minutes before I could make it to the second pillar.
A remake of an old Flash game I was working on.

RobotJS v0.5.0 Released!
For this release of RobotJS I focused a bit on the continuous integration/delivery pipeline.
From the start of this project I knew it would be difficult to test. How do you test a UI automation tool? With a UI! For this release I integrated a tool I built called Target Practice. Target Practice is an Electron app with a couple of buttons and inputs that feeds all events out over stdout. This allows us to write cross platform tests for RobotJS that actually confirm if a button was clicked, if text was typed, and much more! This with the new automated pre-built binaries should make it much easier to release new versions.
Support Unicode Characters for .typeString(). #276
Fix Windows scrolling bug. #361
Fix createStringForKey failure on Mac OS for non-Latin languages. #294
Waiting for event queue to be processed before returning from the methods. #363
Unified the horizontal scroll direction for each OS. This is something that Target Practice caught and is technically a breaking change for Windows. #371
Special thanks to @MariaDima, @dimatter, @noonat, @hristoterezov, @ezefranca, @aj-ptw, @SamuraiJack, @harrysarson, and @zz85.
Idea for a spoiler system
This spoiler system allows users to tag conversations with the relevant episode/season, then it will either show or hide the content based on if a user has seen it. It could tie into a system like https://trakt.tv to know what a user has seen.
